Rail journeys across Europe are set to become cheaper in 2025 with GoVolta – which will offer cheaper fares than even low-cost airlines.
Dutch budget railway service operator GoVolta is set to bring cheaper train travel to Europe in 2025.
In Europe, a train ride is often more expensive than taking a cheap flight.
And, with so many budget airlines, flying in Europe is often more economical and convenient.
But, GoVolta aims to change this. The company will offer fares for as little as 10 Euros on some major routes.
This is more than 60 percent cheaper than other rail operators on the same routes.
BUDGET RAIL JOURNEYS
Dubbed the ‘easyJet of railways,’ Dutch company GoVolta is set to offer long-distance services for less in 2025.Â
The rail operator plans to roll out services between several cities in Europe.
It aims to launch trips between Amsterdam and Berlin from September 2025.
Other routes include Amsterdam to Copenhagen and Amsterdam to Basel, though these routes may be launched later in 2025.
However, GoVolta will not offer high-speed journeys, meaning that trips will take longer than other rail operators.
AMSTERDAM – BERLIN FIRST GOVOLTA RAIL ROUTE IN 2025
GoVolta’s Amsterdam – Berlin service is expected to take eight hours.
Compared with other operators, this is slightly longer. However, the cost is lower.
Standard second-class seats on GoVolta’s inaugural route are priced at just €10, which is cheaper than flying on a budget carrier!
Tickets are set to go on sale in January. In addition, GoVolta has promised at least 100 €10 tickets for every service.
TRAIN TRAVEL
With a desire to make travel more sustainable countries such as France and Spain have forced airlines operating short-haul flights where rail services exist, to cancel these flights.
Rail services can thus help to reduce carbon emissions for short flights.
